#246: The MCA’s TDG Competition with 1stSgt Chase McGrorty-Hunter
Posted on: June 04,2026Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and for your continued support. This week, we welcome 1stSgt Chase McGrorty-Hunter back to the scuttlebutt. Chase is a first sergeant with 11th Marines, the first winner of the Modern Day Marine Obj 1 wargaming competition (now known as the Commandant’s Cup) and our guest for Episode 200. Clearly, we’re fans of this Marine. Chase is here to talk to us about the Marine Corps Association’s Tactical Decision Game, or TDG, Competition. This was originally Chase’s idea, and as he tells it, the Marine Corps Association was the perfect place to host this competition. We talk about what a TDG is and what it is designed to do, what the competition is and who is eligible (spoiler alert: everyone!), and how a competition like this will enable the critical thinking and imagination we want to foster. This is going to be a fun competition, and we are looking forward to seeing what you all come up with.
Enjoy!
